Miami Heat vs Washington Wizards: prediction for the NBA match
If you look at the statistics of the last 20 head-to-head meetings of these rivals, we will see the following: Miami has 13 wins, while the Wizards have 7. Last season teams played against each other 3 times.
Miami Heat
Recently, New Orleans have significantly improved their game. Green’s players have won 4 of 5 matches. In those matches Portland (111:97) and Milwaukee (116:112) were beaten. Thanks to these successes, the “pelicans” left the last line of the Western Conference. Now they are competing for the play-in, as Pelicans are two wins away from tenth place. Despite recent successes, New Orleans lost the previous match. This time Green’s charges decided to take a short break. They lost to Oklahoma two days ago (112:117).
Washington Wizards
The capital club found itself outside the playoff zone, as it has recently become unstuck. The Wes Anseld Jr. team lost Brad Beale, who was forced to quarantine, so another problem was added. Washington failed to show anything in the last meeting, as Philadelphia played as aggressively as possible (96:117). The situation is such that the “wizards” need to improve, but there is a difficult calendar ahead and, accordingly, they will have to rebuild to show the best basketball. Departure to Miami does not bode well, but nobody canceled the fight.
Prediction
Lights are in good shape. Jimmy Butler returned to the floor, so it is not surprising to see Eric Spoelstra's players as favorites. Miami won three matches in a row and is clearly aiming to continue this trend, especially since the next game will take place within its native walls. Washington will try to impose a fight on the opponent, but it will be very difficult to do it without Bradley Bill. One gets the impression that the "Lights" will immediately join the struggle and show who is the boss. Our prediction is a handicap (-4) points on the Miami Heat for a coefficient of 1.68 in BC 1xBet. Lately, none of the teams has shown very good performance, although the "hitmen" play from defense brings good results. We assume that the total will not be broken. Second bet is for a total under 216 points for 1.60. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.68. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
